With the rapid development of the Internet, the amount of information provided on the Internet is also growing. In order to obtain the required information on the Internet, searching for information through a search engine using a web browser has become the most common behavior of Internet users.

A search engine is a system that collects information from the Internet according to a certain search strategy, uses a specific computer program to collect information from the Internet, and provides a search service for the user to display the relevant information to the user after the information is organized and processed. Baidu, Google, 360, etc. are representatives of search engines. To improve the accuracy of search results, search engines often offer different search categories for users to choose from, such as web pages, videos, pictures, music, and more. The search engine can perform corresponding search operations based on the search category selected by the user.

Due to the different search engine search strategies and the way information is organized and processed, different search engines may provide different search results even if users search using the same search keywords. Therefore, in order to fully understand the search results, or to understand the different search results of different search engines, users often need to search in different search engines with the same search keywords. Summary of the invention

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While the invention has been described with respect to the embodiments of the embodiments the embodiments of the invention .

In order to facilitate the operation of the user, the browser can provide multiple search engines and multiple search categories in the search interface for the user to select, and can initiate a corresponding search request according to the user's selection. Such a search interface can be a search bar set in the browser's start page, new tab page or navigation page, or set in the browser's search bar, and in each browser's new window or after each search or The search results are loaded in the window of the new tab page. In this way, after a search, if the user wants to change a different search engine, he or she needs to return to the start page, new tab page, navigation page or search bar to re-select the search engine and/or search category. This is obviously inefficient and cumbersome. Moreover, for multiple searches of different search engines and/or search categories based on user selection, the user also needs Switch between different browser windows or tabs to view or compare multiple search results. This is also inefficient and inconvenient.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a browser in accordance with the present invention. The browser 100 can include a window generator 103, a first child window loader 105, a search request generator 107, and a search result loader 109, as well as an optional configuration file 111 and a configuration modifier 1 13.

Referring to Figure 1, the window generator 103 is configured to generate a first sub-window 1 15 and a second sub-window 117 in a browser web page window of the browser 100. The first sub-window loader 105 is configured to load content in the first sub-window 115, wherein the loaded content includes at least search category list information and search engine list information. Alternatively, the first sub-window loader 105 may also load an input box control for inputting a search keyword in the first sub-window 1 15 . The search result loader 109 is used to load the search results of the user-initiated search request in the second child window 117.

In one embodiment, the window generator 103 may be to detach the first sub-window 1 15 from a side portion of the browser web page window. The first sub-window 115 can be, for example, at the top, bottom, left or right side of the browser web page window. The portion of the browser webpage window other than the first sub-window 1 15 may be the second sub-window 116.

Figure 2(a) shows an exemplary layout of a browser web page window in accordance with browser 100. In the upper part of the browser webpage window, the first sub-window 1 is split. As shown in FIG. 2(b), it loads a search category including "news", "webpage", "video", and the like. A list, and also a list of search engines including "360 Web Pages", "Baidu Web Pages", and "Google Web Pages" corresponding to the currently selected "Web Page" category. The portion of the browser webpage window other than the first sub-window 115 is the second sub-window 1 17, as shown in Figure 2(c), which loads the current one exemplary search result.

The window generator 103 can be triggered to execute in a variety of ways to generate a first sub-window 115 and a second sub-window 117. In one embodiment, the window generator 103 can be triggered by an external search request. The external search request refers to a search request initiated from outside the browser web page window containing the first child window 115 and the second child window 117. For example, the external search request can be initiated from a browser's start page, a new tab page, or a search bar in a navigation page or from a browser's search bar. For example, in the search bar provided in the navigation page of the browser, the user can select "webpage", "video", "picture", etc. to search for categories, and select Baidu or google search engine, and according to the user The search keyword entered in the input box control of the search bar initiates a search request. Once initiated, The window generator 103 may generate a first child window 115 and a second child window 1 17 in the browser webpage window. The first child window loader 105 loads the search category in the first child window 115. The list information and the search engine list information are recorded by the search result loader 109 in the second sub-window 117 with the search result corresponding to the search request. The browser webpage window including the first sub-window 1 15 and the second sub-window 117 may be a current webpage window when the external search request is initiated, or a newly created browser webpage window, or a webpage window of a newly created tab page. . In other embodiments, the window generator 103 may also trigger execution in other manners, for example, may be triggered in response to a user opening a new browser webpage window or creating a new tab page, thereby creating a new browser webpage window or The first sub-window 1 15 and the second sub-window 1 17 are generated in the web page window of the tab page. It can be understood that, in this case, the first sub-window loader 105 can load the search category list information and the search engine list information in the first sub-window 115, and the second sub-window 1 17 has no search request due to the current Can be left blank.

After the first sub-window loader 105 loads the search category list information and the search engine list information in the first sub-window 115, as shown in FIG. 1, the user can send the user selection through the selection operation through the first sub-window 115. The instruction 119 selects a desired search category and a search engine in the search category list information and the search engine list information to initiate a corresponding search request.

The search request generator 107 is configured to select from the search engine list information in the first sub-window 115 according to the search keyword and the search category selected by the user from the search category list information in the first sub-window 115. The search engine 200 initiates a search request. It should be noted that the search engine 200 shown in FIG. 1 does not mean the same search engine, but represents all possible various search engines, and refers to a specific type selected by the user according to the user's selection. search engine. Unlike the external search request described above, the search request initiated by the search request generator 107 can be said to be initiated by the first child window 115 of the browser web page window.

After the search request generator 107 initiates the search request, the search result loader 109 can load the corresponding search result returned from the search engine 200 into the second sub-window 116 generated by the window generator 103.

It is easy to see that the search request corresponding to the current search result shown in FIG. 2 is initiated based on the search keyword "Diaoyu Island" and the search category information "Webpage" to the search engine "Baidu". Figure 3 shows the user in the first sub-window based on the search behavior shown in Figure 2(a). In the port 115, the "webpage" search category is selected, but another search engine "360 webpage" is selected, and an example of the browser webpage window after the search request is initiated by the same search keyword "Diaoyu". The search request may be a get request of http generated according to a search category selected by the user and a URL corresponding to the search engine and a search keyword. Subsequently, the search result loader 109 loads the search result returned from the search engine of "360 web page" into the second sub-window 117 in FIG. Of course, the user can also change the search category and search engine simultaneously in the first child window 115 of the browser web page window, or just change the search category. In this way, the user does not need to return to the user interface for initiating an external search request, and can directly select different search categories and/or search engines in the current browser webpage window, and browse directly in the current browser webpage window. Corresponding search results can greatly improve search efficiency and improve search convenience and user experience.

In the example of the browser webpage window shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 described above, since the interface for inputting the search keyword is not provided to the user in the first sub-window 115, the search request generated by the search request generator 107 is The search keywords used can use the same search keywords as the external search request. This also helps users search for search results that use the same search keywords but with different search categories and/or search engines to get a complete picture of the search results or to understand the differences between different search results for different search engines. Of course, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the user may also input a search keyword in the search bar provided by the corresponding search engine in the search result loaded in the second sub-window 117, and start a new one based on the search keyword. Search request. Subsequently, the current search keyword can be used in the search request generated by the search request generator 107.

Since different search engines may provide different search categories, each search engine may use a different URL URL for different search categories, and the search loaded in the first sub-window 115 is convenient for maintenance. The category list information and the search engine list information, the browser 100 preferably uses the configuration file 111 to reflect the mapping relationship between the plurality of search categories and the plurality of search engines. In one embodiment, the configuration file 111 may take the form of a mapping table as shown in Table 1. Table 1

Thus, the first sub-window loader 105 can load the search category list and the search engine list in the first sub-window 115 according to the configuration file 111. At the time of loading, the first sub-window loader 105 may dynamically load a search engine list corresponding to the selected search category according to the search category selected by the user in the search category list and according to the configuration file 111; or The first sub-window loader 105 may also dynamically load a search category list corresponding to the selected search engine according to the search engine selected in the search engine list and according to the configuration file 111. As an example of the browser webpage window shown in FIG. 4, when the user selects to select "video" in the search category, the first sub-window loader 105 can select all of the profiles according to the configuration file 111 shown in Table 1, for example. Search engines of the "Video" category, such as "360 Video", "Baidu Video", "Google Video" and "Search Video", and load these search engines into the first child window 115 in the form of a list. It will be readily appreciated that in other embodiments, the user may first select a search engine and then the first sub-window loader 105 dynamically loads the various search categories provided by the search engine.

In order to maintain the configuration file 111, the browser 100 may be updated when it is upgraded, or the configuration modifier 113 may be used to receive the user modification instruction 121, and the configuration file 111 may be modified and updated according to the user modification instruction 121. For example, by updating the configuration file 111, the search engine can be added or deleted, and/or the search category can be added or deleted. In one embodiment, some or all of the configuration file 111 may serve as browser user information for server side backup, upload server side, and/or synchronization to server side operations. In this way, when the user uses the browser 100 on different terminals, the information in the configuration file 111 can be consistent on different terminals through backup, upload, and/or synchronization operations, so that the user can be at different terminals. Keep the same experience on the same. In the example of the browser web page window shown in FIG. 5, the window generator 103 generates three first sub-windows 501-503, which are generally located on the left side of the browser web page window. In one of the first child windows 501, the first child window loader 105 loads an input box control for the user to input a search key such as "Diaoyu Island". In another first sub-window 502, the first sub-window loader 105 loads a list of search categories thereto. In yet another first sub-window 503, the first sub-window loader 105 loads a list of search engines thereto. As previously mentioned, the first sub-window loader 105 can dynamically load the corresponding search engine list in the first sub-window 503 based on the search categories selected in the first sub-window 502 as well. In another embodiment, any two or all three of the three first sub-windows 501-503 can be combined into one first sub-window. In still another embodiment, the first sub-windows 501-503 may also be arranged in other manners, for example, the first sub-window 502 may be formed as a horizontal elongated window located at an upper portion of the browser web page window.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, since the input box control for the user to input the search keyword is also loaded in the first sub-window 501, the user can pass the first sub-window 501, 115 in the current browser webpage window. The search keyword 123 is input for searching. When the window generator 103 is triggered to execute in response to the user's operation of creating a new browser webpage window or creating a new tab page, since the user has not input the search keyword at this time, the input box control is loaded in the first sub-window 501 is very advantageous. In this way, the search keyword used in the search request generated by the search request generator 107 may be the search keyword input in the input box control, or may be the search keyword used by the user last search, or may Is the search keyword selected by the user from the list of search keyword history.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the list of search categories loaded in the first sub-window 502 also includes a "preferred" option to indicate a preferred or default search category. Thus, when a search request is initiated, if the user does not select a search category, the search request generator 107 uses the preferred search category information when generating and initiating the search request. Similarly, although not shown, the list of search engines loaded in the first sub-window 503 may also include a preferred search engine. Such preferred search engine information and/or preferred search category information can be set by the browser itself or by the browser user and saved in the configuration file 111.

In the schematic diagram of the browser webpage window shown in FIG. 6, the window generator 103 can generate two second sub-windows 1 17, and the search result loader 109 loads two search requests in the two second sub-windows 107, respectively. (can be an external search request and / or search request The search request initiated by the generator 107) corresponds to the search result. Wherein, the two search requests may be initiated according to the same search keyword but according to different search categories and/or different search engines. At work, after initiating a search request (which may be an external search request or a search request initiated by the search request generator 107), the window generator 103 generates, for example, the first sub-window 115 shown in FIGS. 2-5. And a second sub-window 1 17 and loading the search result corresponding to the search request in the second sub-window 1 17 . Thereafter, when the user selects a different search category and/or a different search engine in the first sub-window 1 15 and initiates a second search request by the search request generator 107, the window generator 103 may be as shown in FIG. In this way, two second sub-windows 1 17 are generated for loading the search results corresponding to the two search requests. Of course, when the user initiates more search requests, the window generator 103 may generate corresponding second sub-windows 117 to respectively load the corresponding search results. In this way, users can view and compare different search results very conveniently by simultaneously loading and displaying multiple search results in the same browser web page window.

Figure 7 is a flow chart showing one embodiment of a web page search method in accordance with the present invention. The method 700 is suitable for execution in the aforementioned browser 100.

The method 700 may begin at step S703 for loading search category list information in a first sub-window 1 15 of a browser web page window as shown in FIG. 1 and corresponding to a search category in the search category list information. Search engine listing information. Optionally, an input box control for inputting a search keyword may also be loaded in the first sub-window 115 in this step S703. As shown in Figures 2 and 5, the first sub-window 1 15 may be a split window of the browser web page window located at the side of the browser web page window, such as the top, bottom, left or right side. The first sub-window 1 15 may be plural, for example, three first sub-windows 501-503 are included in the example of FIG. The first sub-windows 502 and 503 are respectively used to load search category list information and search engine list information, and the first sub-window 501 is used to load an input box control.

As described above, the configuration file 11 1 in the browser 100 as shown in FIG. 1 can be provided to facilitate maintenance of the loaded search category list information and search engine list information. The configuration file 11 1 can reflect a mapping relationship between multiple search categories and multiple search engines. Thus, the search category list information and the search engine list information can be loaded according to the configuration file 11 1 in step S703. In an embodiment, the search engine list corresponding to the selected search category may be dynamically loaded according to the search category selected in the search category list information and according to the configuration file; or, according to the search engine list information The selected search engine dynamically loads the search corresponding to the selected search engine according to the configuration file List of categories. The profile may also include preferred search engine information and/or preferred search category information set by the browser or browser user. Thus, when a search request described below is initiated, if the user does not select a search category and/or search engine, the preferred search category information and/or preferred search engine information is used. The configuration file preferably can be updated by the browser or configurable by the browser user. Moreover, part or all of the configuration file may be used as browser user information for server side backup, upload server side, and/or synchronization to server side operation, so that the information in the configuration file is consistent on different terminals used by the user. So that users can maintain a basically the same experience on different terminals.

Subsequently, the method may proceed to step S707 to initiate a search request based on the search category selected by the user from the search category list information in the first sub-window 115 and the search engine selected from the search engine list information. The search request may be initiated by the search request generator 107 of the browser 100 shown in FIG. 1, in the form of http generated according to the URL of the selected search category and the search engine and the search keyword. Get request. In one embodiment, the search keywords used in the search request may employ the same search keywords as an external search request. In other embodiments, the search key of the search request may also be a search keyword input by the user through the browser's input box control; or the search keyword used by the user last search; or the history of the user from the search keyword The search keyword selected in the list of records.

Subsequently, the method may proceed to step 709 to load, in the second sub-window 117, the corresponding search result returned by the search engine selected from the search engine list information in accordance with the search request. The search result corresponding to the search request can be loaded in the second sub-window 117 by the search result loader 109 of the browser 100 shown in FIG.

Then, it is also possible to return to step S707 again as needed to initiate another search request. In the case where there is only one second sub-window 117 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the search result of loading the current search request may be updated in the second sub-window 117 in step S709. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the second sub-window 117 may be multiple, which are respectively used to load search results of corresponding multiple search requests, where the multiple search requests may be based on the same search. Keywords are initiated based on different search categories and/or different search engines. Thus, each time step S707 is performed, a second sub-window 117 can be additionally generated in step S709 to load the search result of the current search request while remaining in the other second sub-window 117 of the browser webpage. Search results so that users can simultaneously View and compare search results for multiple search requests.
